The Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius | Full Audiobook (Calm Narration)

The Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius, in the public-domain English translation by H. R. James. Awaiting execution in a prison cell, stripped of honour, wealth, and friends, Boethius is visited by Lady Philosophy, a woman of more than human dignity, who consoles him through a series of discourses: that Fortune is fickle by her very nature, that true happiness lies not in anything she can give or take away, that the highest good and God are one, and that a providence governs all things even when the world seems unjust. Prose and verse alternate as despair is slowly turned toward the light. Complete unabridged audiobook, read aloud with calm narration for deep listening, study, reflection, or sleep.
